11 A bright light will shine forthinto the farthest corners of the earth.Many nations will come to youfrom afar,and inhabitants from all the endsof the earth will cometo your holy name.They will bear gifts in their handsfor the king of heaven.Generation after generationwill give joyful worship to youand honor your name forever and always.
12 May all who have despised youand slandered you be cursed!Cursed are all who hate you and all who speak a harsh word against you.But all who revere youwill be blessed for eternity.
13 Rejoice then and be gladfor the children of the righteous,for all will be gathered togetherand praise the eternal Lord.
14 Favored by God are those who love you,favored are those who rejoicewhen you are at peace,and favored are all the peoplewho grieve when you are afflicted,for they will rejoice over youand will see all your joy forever.
15 I praise the Lord, the great king!
16 Jerusalem will be built as a city,God’s house for all ages to come.I will be greatly favoredwhen the few remaining frommy offspring see your gloryand acknowledge the king of heaven!The gates of Jerusalem will be builtwith sapphire and emerald,and all your wallswill be made of precious stone.The towers of Jerusalemwill be built with gold,and their fortifications will be made of pure gold.
17 The streets of Jerusalem will be paved with garnet and stone from Ophir.
